Boy group AHOF has set a new personal record with their latest album.

According to Hanteo Chart, AHOF’s (members: Steven, Seo Jungwoo, Cha Woongki, Zhang Shuaibo, Park Han, JL, Park Juwon, Zuen, Daisuke) second mini-album The Passage, released on November 4, achieved 389,904 copies sold in its first week (November 4–10).



Previously, the album had surpassed 368,000 copies sold within just four days of release, breaking the group’s debut record even before the first-week sales period ended — drawing strong attention to the final tally.



In the end, AHOF recorded an increase of approximately 30,000 more copies compared to their previous release, setting a new career-best first-week sales record. Emerging as “monster rookies” upon debut, the group has now proven their rapid growth and expanding global fanbase in just four months.



The enthusiastic response to AHOF extends beyond album sales. Their new title track, “Pinocchio Hates Lies,” topped Bugs’ real-time chart, ranked No. 79 on Melon HOT100, and also entered global charts on Spotify, iTunes, and Apple Music, showcasing their rising international presence.
